Is it a bar, is it a restaurant? Actually the Brisbane is both. In summer it's great to sit outside in the terraced beer garden (it can get pretty busy) and in winter you might when you can hide away inside. There's plenty of space and a cool, urban vibe.

The menu includes things to share like salt & pepper squid, fritters and fries but their pizzas are also amazing and other options include pastas, lamb shanks and grilled salmon. You'll always get decent servings. The Brisbane takes bookings for dinner from Monday to Thursday and walk ins for dinner on Friday and Saturday. You can book for lunch seven days a week.

For breakfast try the polenta with slow cooked eggs or a ciabatta toastie. For lunch, sample the panfried gnocchi, duck liver parfait or a gourmet salad.

There's anti-pasto options in the afternoon and dinner has some of the lunch options again plus meals like braised lamb shoulder, citrus cured salmon and chicken terrine. You can match those with wines from Italy, Spain or Portugal. Cantina is famous for their long table dinners where you get to meet a lot of new people. Click here for more.
